About

Together we can achieve anything.

Here at Springhealth Kickboxing we strive to create a community where everyone who walks through our doors immediately feels welcome. It becomes a home away from home, where you can train towards your goals and achieve things that you never thought were possible.

As soon as you walk in you'll be greeted by Anita as if you were long lost friends, you'll progress to classes where black belts, white belts and everyone in between trains together and you'll meet other likeminded people who are also falling in love with Kickboxing.

We pride ourselves on teaching great quality kickboxing, boxing and Tabata classes. Using experience gained over decades in the sport; shared and passed down through our instructors we aim to now pass this knowledge on to you.

We believe our secret lies in the fantastic atmosphere at the gym, which is generated through the shared enthusiasm from both the instructors and the students. We love what we do here at Springhealth and are very passionate about it... we hope you will be too.

When you first join us, we will guide you through our flexible kickboxing system. You will have the opportunity to take part in gradings which give you the chance to assess your level of improvement and progress to learn new skills.

As well as all the fitness benefits of kickboxing, you will also gain a valuable self-defence skill, increased confidence and you might also make a friend or two.

We have a really friendly vibe in our classes, as students pair up with each other which helps create a group bond as you progress through the grades and earn your belts.
